III. Read the following passages and do the questions below:
Passage One
Cars are very popular in the United States. It is said that the car has made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped to make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation(交通).
The second reason is that the United States never really developed an efficient and cheap form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Today there is a good system of air service by plane. But air travel costs too much money so that it cannot be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact timetable. Therefore the freedom a car gives them is what Americans want most.
The decrease of oil supplies has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much oil.

1. Why do we call the United States“a nation on wheels”?

2. According to the sentence “And it helped to make the United States what it is today”, we know that _________.
A. the car has made the United States a very rich country
B. the car has changed the old tradition of the country
C. the car has become America’s most modern form of transportation
D. the car has made it possible for Americans to enjoy their modern life
3. What is the most important reason that cars are so popular in the US?
A. Americans like to visit different places.
B. Americans like to go about freely.
C. The United States is a very big country.
D. Other types of transportation are not so efficient.
4. What will happen if the United States does not have enough oil for the cars?
A. Public transportation will be used more than others.
B. People will not travel so much as they do today.
C. Cars will still be the main form of transportation.
D. New forms of fuel will be found to take the place of oil.
5. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. There are many cars in the United States.
B. Americans are fond of using cars to travel around.
C. Cars play a very important role in the life of Americans.
D. It is more convenient to travel by cars than by other forms of transportation.

Passage Two
Mr. Brown was going away for a week. Before he left, he said to his son, "if anyone asks for me, you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something, and will be back in a week, then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea."
"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.
Four days passed, but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man to come and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him, so he burnt it that evening.
